For the past two years, summer manicures have been all about fruit. In fact, fruity manicures were already trending back in summer 2024, as evidenced by 'farmer market' nails imagined by nail-artist Zola Ganzorigt for Hailey Bieber. Blueberries, cherries, strawberries and lemons were all featured on the nails, and this year, fruit is back — but with a twist: 'Fruit Water Nails,' where nail artists draw inspiration from the colour, rather than the shape, of fruit. This is the very first nail polish with a glossy, watery finish. This innovative texture, reminiscent of the subtle glow fruit-infused water, has given rise to the famous "Fruit Water Nails" trend, used by nail artists all over the world.

The pink hue of a juicy strawberry, the orange tint of a fresh melon, the red of a ripe cherry... fruity colours are the main source of inspiration for nail artists this summer. The concept? A luminous, watery manicure, reminiscent of fresh fruit juice. Aptly named 'Water Fruit Nails,' these nails offer a subtly gelled shade, oscillating between transparency and soft colour.
The result is comparable to that of a lip oil: discreet, elegant, silky and powerful. Radiant and refined, 'Water Fruit Nails' are sure to be the most popular manicure in salons this summer. A winning formula that's easy to replicate at home, here are the prettiest options from Instagram.

Why Red Lipstick Will Always Be My Power Colour
A bright, blue-toned red lipstick has been my signature for the last fourteen years. I found my first in a serendipitous encounter at a M.A.C Cosmetics store. I walked in with no specific agenda, a sales assistant pulled out a few colours for me, including one called 'M.A.C Red' (nope, not Ruby Woo), I saw what it looked like against my fair skin and was instantly intimidated, wondering if it was too promiscuous a shade for a sixteen-year-old. A woman shopping alongside saw it on me and instantly said, 'If I was you, I would buy that. It looks amazing.' I did, and I've never looked back. While teenagers today experiment with beauty and truly own their choices, that wasn't necessarily the case in 2012. It took a few wears for me to get over the self-judgment and really embrace the fact that beneath the doubt, it made me feel fantastic and like a more confident version of myself. Little did I know that three years later, I would dive into a career in the beauty editorial space, and that my red lipstick would become a defining part of my personality, at and outside of work, eventually leading to the launch of my Instagram community called The Red Lipstick Club. Red lipstick: Cultural significance Red lipstick has been a symbol of oppression, wealth, power, seduction and even witchcraft over time. Historians believe that the Egyptians were some of the first creators and users of red lipstick, one made from crushing insects, for Cleopatra. During World War II, women were specifically told to avoid wearing red lipstick, and they went on to swipe it as an act of rebellion. In 1912, during the suffragettes movement in America, protestors wore red and Elizabeth Arden handed out free tubes of red lipstick to women marching along Fifth Avenue in New York City. Marilyn Monroe always had her signature red lip on, Grace Kelly loved her Rouge Dior 999 since the mid 1950s, Madonna wore M.A.C's Russian Red all through her iconic 'Blond Ambition' tour in 1990, and Taylor Swift often has a red pout on (Nars' Dragon Girl is said to be her go-to). Safe to say, red has always been, and continues to be, in vogue. How to find the perfect red lipstick Finding a red that feels true to you definitely takes some experimenting. We got Bianca Louzado, a Mumbai-based celebrity and bridal makeup artist to share her take on doing it right. 'I think the perfect red lipstick announces your identity, attitude and emotions, all in one swipe. The secret to knowing and wearing the right kind of red lies in understanding your skin's undertone. If you have a cool undertone such as pink, red, or bluish hints, invest in blue-based reds like cherry hues or a classic ruby palette. Warm undertones are skin with golden, yellow, olive, or peach hints, making orange-based reds like tomato or brick tones your perfect pick. If you have a neutral undertone where warm and cool are balanced, most reds will suit you.' If you're someone who enjoys creating custom shades, she recommends having a tiny collection of assorted reds, to mix and match shades and thereby achieve your perfect red. There truly is a red for everyone, no matter your skin tone. All it takes is some trial and error, and a small dose of confidence to wear it outdoors. You'll feel the difference and wonder why you never wore the power colour in the first place — I know I did, and will continue to swipe it on till kingdom come.

Why Glossy, Barely-There Lips Are Replacing Lipstick This Season
There was a time when a bold matte lipstick signalled power, polish, and performance. But in 2025, the beauty narrative is shifting. As our lifestyles embrace comfort, self-care, and conscious formulations, so too does our makeup. Enter the tinted lip balm, a quiet revolution in a stick. Equal parts skincare and colour, this new generation of balms doesn't just sit pretty. They actively nourish, protect, and enhance the lips you already have. And it's not just about convenience. These balms are loaded with bioactive ingredients like hyaluronic acid, murumuru butter, and antioxidant-rich seed oils that plump, hydrate, and shield the delicate lip area from environmental stressors. Unlike traditional lipsticks, which often contain waxes and pigments that can dry or settle, the latest formulations melt seamlessly into the skin, offering a custom tint and a luminous, barely-there finish. It's makeup, yes, but it's also treatment. Culturally, the shift toward a more undone, natural lip aligns with a broader trend in beauty that is embracing what's real. From Sofia Coppola's capsule collaboration with Augustinus Bader to Hermès' poetic Rosy Lip Enhancer, these formulas don't overwrite your features. They softly frame them. With wellness at the forefront and multitasking formulas now the gold standard, these are the new lip essentials worth the space in your handbag. From nourishing actives to refillable couture packaging, these five tinted balms are leading the takeover, one swipe at a time. Hermès A whisper of pink, a wash of light, this weightless lip enhancer from Hermès delivers effortless elegance with every swipe. The ultra-fine, milky texture glides on like second skin, smoothing and softening lips while leaving a luminous, barely-there flush. Inspired by the softness of Milo leather and designed as a refillable object of beauty, its luxury that lingers. The Formula Lightweight, nourishing, and delicately scented with floral notes. Key Ingredients• White Mulberry Extract: Enhances softness and elasticity. • Sesame-Seed & Raspberry-Seed Oils: Hydrate and smooth. Hermès Rosy Lip Enhancer in 27 Rose Confetti Rose AED320 Summer Fridays Summer Fridays unveils Pink Guava, a bright, sheer pink Lip Butter Balm with a sweet tropical scent that instantly transports you to sunnier days. Juicy, playful, and universally flattering, it's your new go-to for a wash of summer colour and shine. Silky, vegan, and ultra-hydrating, the balm delivers buildable pigment and buttery moisture with every swipe, perfect for beach bags, beauty kits, and everything in between. The Formula 100% vegan, ultra-nourishing, and non-sticky with a smooth, glossy finish.

Can Skincare Actually Stimulate Collagen Production?
'Ingredients like retinol, vitamin C and peptides are well-known for this,' he explains. 'Retinol speeds up cell turnover and encourages the production of new collagen, while vitamin C is essential in the collagen-making process. These ingredients work by gently pushing your skin into repair mode, which helps strengthen its deeper layers,' Dr Galadari adds. That said, he also stresses the importance of formulation, as the result largely depends on 'whether these ingredients actually reach the dermis, where collagen is made.' Elsewhere, Dr Hall explains that while some products list 'collagen' as ingredients, the science behind it is far less straightforward than you'd think. 'You would automatically think that by applying collagen your collagen levels will be automatically increased. But in fact, the size of a collagen molecule itself is too large to be absorbed,' she shares. However, Dr Hall also points out that 'collagen has humectant properties like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, meaning that it attracts water and is a very strong hydrating ingredient.' How does topical skincare compare to in-office procedures in terms of stimulating collagen? 'They work on very different levels. Topicals are great for prevention and long-term maintenance, and they tend to support skin health in a gentler, more holistic way,' says Dr Hall. 'Topical skincare should form the foundation of any skincare or anti-aging programme. It is by far the most cost-effective way of slowing down the signs of aging and a good skincare routine really will make a considerable difference,' she adds. According to Dr Hall, 'in-office procedures like microneedling and CO2 lasers go deeper and actively induce controlled injury or inflammation to trigger a more robust collagen production response. Your body recognises the injury and puts itself into repair mode creating more collagen than you started with.' As far as collagen-boosting injectables go, Dr Hall recommends trying 'polynucleotides and Poly-L-Lactic-Acid (PLLA) like Julaine which are biostimulants.' For a more dramatic result, Dr Galadari also mentioned the Morpheus8 treatment, which is 'a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency that reaches the deeper layers of the skin, triggering a strong collagen renewal process.' 'It's particularly effective for skin tightening, smoothing fine lines, and improving skin texture - things topicals alone often can't deliver on their own,' he adds. Collagen supplements vs. collagen-boosting skincare – which is better? 'They actually complement each other really well,' shares Dr Galadari. 'While skincare focuses on stimulating collagen in the top layers of skin, supplements work from the inside out. These usually contain hydrolysed collagen peptides that your body can absorb and use to support skin structure,' he explains.
